mod_python problem

[Gandalf]

  Hi All!

Here is my server signature:

Apache/2.0.48 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4 mod_python/3.0.3 Python/2.3.3 
mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.7c Server at arwen.msnet Port 80

This is what I have in httpd.conf:

LoadModule python_module libexec/apache2/mod_python.so
AddHandler mod_python .py
AddType applcation/x-http-python .py

<Directory />
  PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
  PythonDebug On
</Directory>

This is what I have in index.py (BTW it was taken from the mod_python 
tutorial,   
http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/tut-what-it-do.html ):

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = "text/plain"
    req.write("Hello World!")
    return apache.OK

Finally, the server starts OK, and when I try to GET this URL:

http://arwen.msnet/index.py?handler

then I get a plain/text file containing my Python code. It seems that 
the handler does not work.
I tried to use this too:

PythonHandler index

but it did not work either. What did I wrong?

Thanks in advance,

   G
